A couple of different thoughts:
Just like Ferret, I have the CB1100 and ST1300. I also have a son living in Orlando.
I rode my ST from Seattle to the Gorge Ampitheater to see the Foo Fighters last weekend. Ferret probably knows Dave Grohl hails from Warren, Ohio (where they have a BIG statue of him!). But he made history in Seattle with Nirvana. Anyway...I digress.
It was 100 degrees at 4pm on Saturday. I was sitting on the ST waiting to be processed through the ticket line into the campground. I was shocked at how much heat radiated off of the fuel tank and cylinders. I can't exaggerate how bad it was. I would never, never, never choose to ride an ST in Orlando. I'd take a bus first.
As much as I like my CB, it would not be anywhere around the top of "my" list for a highway bike. Older VFR maybe...
IMHO, of course!
